Hey guys! I bought a female recently from Petco and she was a little bloated in a weird way. They didn't know why but she's been acting healthy so I figured she was just fat. Well today I noticed a white spot on her belly and research told me she's egg bound. She's still eating fine and swimming around actively. I have a male named Jonah and I'd like to know the safest way to get her to drop her eggs. Should I try mating them or just putting them where they can see each other hoping that it may work?

Yeah that's what I tried in the beginning. I used some peas in case she was constipated but it didn't have any effect. I looked up some pictures of eggbound fish and she looks exactly like the pictures. She's round but only in the front
